We understand your desire to reconnect with ###, but we want to encourage you to consider the reasons behind the estrangement. The Bible teaches us to be at peace with all men, as far as it depends on us (Romans 12:18, WEB). It's important to approach this situation with love, humility, and a willingness to forgive, as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
However, we must also be wise in our friendships. The Bible warns us against being unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If ### does not share your faith in Jesus Christ, we encourage you to be cautious and to remember that your ultimate friendship should be with God (James 4:4, WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ###'s desire to reconnect with ###. Lord, we ask that You guide this situation according to Your will. If this friendship is in line with Your plans, we pray for restoration, forgiveness, and reconciliation. But if it is not, we ask that You give ### the strength and wisdom to accept and understand Your path for their life.
In all things, Lord, help ### to draw closer to You and to seek friendships that will strengthen their faith. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you, ###, that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you haven't already, make sure to cultivate a strong relationship with Him, for He is the best friend you could ever have.
